Australian folks love any advice–moving to a new place, NBN internet or 5G internet?

@johnallsopp is the property already provisioned (I assume so)? FTTC or FTTP? If it's already there, I'd definitely say go wired.

@trib hmm Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) (had a good experience last place around 5 years ago with that so…)

@johnallsopp I’d have thought HFC would have been updated. Interesting. Still, should be okay. Maybe @jpm or @NewtonMark can comment with far greater expertise?

@trib @johnallsopp HFC is the ticking time bomb of the NBN. If you actively wanted to design a system to have multiple points of failure and no accountability, you'd create HFC.

@johnallsopp @trib 5G has the same problems as mobile coverage, and will have more latency than wired. So ... you might still have to hold your breath and go with NBN.

Where we are now we can get non-NBN fibre and although the customer service sucks, the connection is great.

@200ok @trib I have non NBN fibre in the place I'm vacating–way too many outages for my liking, no alternative to the provider that does the whole complex…

@johnallsopp Yeah the non-NBN options have a real "early cable tv" vibe to them. Getting whole apartment blocks locked in.

@200ok @johnallsopp almost glad to be on very stable, fast Starlink out here in the bush. Even if it further enables Musk.
